Okay, that's WAY too many syllables to be able to be sung with the same rhythm. That's one major problem when translating English songs to German. I see some plural/singular errors and I think incorrect forms of some verbs. Lasst should be lass because verbs lose their endings when the verb is a command. Freunde should be Freunden because it's plural. Some nouns are not capitalized and nouns begin with a capital letter in German.

I said, "Hi, Greg. I'm the creepy girl." He chuckled, then wanted a handshake and I gave it. I wanted a hug and he gave it. One of his sons was there, too. Cute. Then Pete got him to autograph my sign for me because I was too polite to ask myself since he was on his way to eat. Pete also took this of photo of him holding it. - 8/2/2014.https://twitter.com/PeteParada/statu...56317329436672

Yes, I agree that it's difficult to translate it, but that's the point of this thread: translate the song to another language, without losing its meaning and then try to sing it with original music... I think, for example, Session would be easy to translate to Bosnian, without losing its meaning...I'll try to translate it, and then I'll post it...

Are you going for just an 'unlost' translation, or aiming to make a translation that also could be sung with the same rhythm and music as the originals? That would make it far more difficult.
